Al Iannazzone of Newsday is reporting that the Knicks "aren't looking to move" Courtney Lee.

It had been rumored that New York was shopping Lee earlier this offseason, and those rumors intensified when the Knicks signed Tim Hardaway Jr. to a mammoth $71 million offer sheet, which Atlanta is not expected to match. However, the Newsday report states that New York is willing to hold onto both shooting guards and "plan to play [Lee] and Hardaway together." The Hawks have until midnight on Saturday to make a decision on Hardaway. Jul 8 - 12:08 PM

Marc Berman of the New York Post reports that the Knicks "were looking to trade Courtney Lee's contract."

It's not clear if New York is still shopping Lee or if they've abandoned that pursuit, but moving Lee's deal off the books would open some additional flexibility for the Knicks to be a bigger player in free agency. We shall see what develops in the post-Phil Jackson era. Jul 1 - 4:17 PM

Courtney Lee scored 14 points on 6-of-13 shooting Sunday to go with two 3-pointers, three assists, one steal, one rebound and two turnovers in 32 minutes.

Lee has been playing very well as of late as one of New York’s primary weapons on offense sans Derrick Rose (knee), Carmelo Anthony (knee) and Kristaps Porzingis (back), and over the past few weeks he's been a top-50 option with averages of 13.5 points, 1.3 triples, 2.8 assists and 1.9 steals per contest on 46.7 percent shooting. He's worth owning in most leagues. Apr 9 - 2:35 PM

Courtney Lee scored 11 points with eight rebounds, three assists, five steals and one 3-pointer in 31 minutes against the Wizards on Thursday.

He had the unenviable task of guarding John Wall for much of this game, but coming up with plenty of stats is a good sign. With the Knicks likely to be very shorthanded on Friday in Memphis, Lee could have a nice opportunity for a revenge game. His fantasy owners or DFS players may want to make sure he's starting before locking him in. Apr 6 - 10:42 PM

Frank Ntilikina said "of course" he wants to start for the Knicks this season.

This doesn't really mean much and he did walk it back after that comment. "I’m a team player. I just want what’s best for the team." The plan looks like it'll be Ntilikina coming off the bench, but the Knicks swinging and missing on a free agent PG should help his case to get minutes sooner than expected. Ntilikina could leapfrog either Ron Baker or Ramon Sessions in camp, so keep an eye on him as a fantasy stash.

According to ESPN's Ian Begley, the Knicks have been shopping Joakim Noah.

He's owed $55.6 million over the next three years and is entering his age-33 season, making this one of the worst contracts in the league. It's no secret that the Knicks have been listening to offers for Kristaps Porzingis this week, but one roadblock in trade talks is that the team tried to include Noah in the talks. The big man had surgery to repair his rotator cuff in his right shoulder back in April and is suspended for the first 12 games of the season for failing a drug test. In case it needs to be said, fantasy owners should look the other way on draft day.
